The local Sinclair hot air machine had a couple BS ads on just now...

...about how great their news operation is and how they're just looking out for regular Iowans.

Bullshit.

If KGAN wanted me to buy that they'd have to tell Boris and the Sinclair bosses to stick their propaganda where the sun doesn't shine.

maybe a couple of small radio stations and small town newspapers? That one in Storm Lake is fantastic. (Storm Lake Times)

Even the NPR stations sound like Fox any more.

All the local "small town" papers around here are owned by the same parent company that owns the Dubuque paper (aka Teabagger Herald, etc).
